For the last 35 years, renowned chef Raymond Blanc has inspired the world with his cooking. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
It's about celebrating that gorgeous, glorious food and sharing | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
a special moment with your loved one. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Now, he's opening his kitchen and sharing his secrets. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
I've made all the mistakes which could be made, so you don't have to make them yourself. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
Showing, with a little effort... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Food is so, so beautiful. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:24 | |
..anyone can bring some joy to the dinner table. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Even the most complicated dish is not impossible to make. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
On Kitchen Secrets, Raymond demystifies the art of making bread. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
Not easy for Raymond Blanc, easy for everyone. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
From a simple country loaf to an impressive fougasse. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
Bread is about companionship, sharing. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
-A cream-filled brioche, a great dessert for a special occasion. -That will smell of home. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:57 | |
And last, but not least... | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
-Lovely. -A delicate apple croustade. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
There's something so rewarding about making your own bread. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:08 | |
Bon appetit. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
In his Oxfordshire kitchen, Raymond is preparing for a day of baking. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
Can I have a bowl please, guys, a mixing bowl? Small mixing bowl. Ah, thank you, not that one. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
Could we have a glass bowl? | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
Can you get me a glass bowl? | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Adam? Adam? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
I love baking, such a wonderful occupation, really fills up | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
your whole home, with yeast, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
with fermentation, acid, sour, sweet, wonderful baking, lovely flavours. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:42 | |
To begin, a classic dessert made with brioche, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
a traditional French bread, filled with a rich lemon cream - gateau a la creme. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
To me, brioche, it means a special day, a very special day. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Every day you would have bread | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
but on Sunday or a festive day, you would have brioche, and wow! | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
That's worth waiting for, but the way to make it is so, so easy, and I mean easy. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:09 | |
Start by combining 500g of flour... | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
60g of sugar and 7g of salt. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
You just give it a little mix but if you're not connected with... Adam! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:24 | |
Adam! Well, there must be an extension here... | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
When you've got power, mix the ingredients together. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
And now I crumble my yeast | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
so it can mix very well and slowly I release it into my bowl. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
Yeast, a living fungus, is the magic ingredient which makes bread rise. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:51 | |
-Tres bien. -Add 7 eggs... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:57 | |
-Voila. -And mix using a bread hook until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. This should take 5 minutes. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:04 | |
This is a no-brainer. It's really so wonderfully easy and so satisfying, | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
hardly any effort, because the machine does it for you. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Now we're to add 300g of butter without any form of guilt. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
It's so very good, OK? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
All of that butter into my dough. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Then give the dough one last blast for 5 minutes on a medium speed. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
OK, that's lovely. Less sticky, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
quite shiny, taken all of the butter. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Now it is ready. It cannot go wrong. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
The only thing which can go wrong, if you weigh your ingredients wrong. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
Now prove the dough for an hour... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
just set aside at room temperature so the yeast can get to work and make the mixture expand. | 0:03:55 | 0:04:02 | |
The dough will then need to go into the fridge. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
This one has been in the fridge for one hour. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
The dough is much firmer, much stronger, easier to handle. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
You couldn't handle fresh dough, so that's why this is perfect. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
Your brioche dough is now ready. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Tres bien. Voila. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
Tres bien. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
Place on a board with greaseproof paper. Shape it into a circle. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
So I make it completely by hand. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
That is really home, that's the smell of home. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
I think I had a good home, I suppose. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
I'm very privileged, I realise that. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
So I'm going to cover it, voila, nicely for half an hour. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:51 | |
Now make the cream filling. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
For this, you'll need 250ml of creme fraiche. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
Ah, no messing around here. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
You don't look at your diet book here. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
Rather nice. Oh! | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Problem is, you taste it, you want more, you see, but lock that up. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-Add 6 egg yolks... -Beautiful, eh? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
And 60g of sugar. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
It's as simple as that. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
And then I want to have the whole zest of the lemon | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
and the whole juice | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
of the lemon. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
Now, prepare the centre for the cream. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
I'm going to pour some | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
of my cream, voila. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
-Then glaze the crust. -Egg yolk with a bit of water or a bit of milk. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
And sprinkle with nib sugar, which can be bought from cookery shops. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
Place in the oven at 200C. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
Turn it on to a metal tray. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
Finally, top up the cream. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
After 20 minutes, the gateau will be ready. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
Voila. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
I must confess there is a mistake here. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
You can all see it. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Here you can see some of the cream has escaped. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
I somehow went through the base of it | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
and could have lost it all, actually. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
No problem at all, OK, between friends. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
You must do that dessert for a special treat. You must do it. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
To sample the gateau, Raymond's sons - Sebastien and Olivier. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:51 | |
Voila. How are you? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
You good? You good? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-Some gateau! Every time he meets us, I want gateau. -Home sweet home! | 0:06:58 | 0:07:04 | |
-So, is my gateau la creme good enough, as good as Mummy? -Oooh. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:11 | |
As good as Maman Blanc? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
Yes. I'm going to go for 9. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-How's that? -That's pretty good. -Is that OK? -They put it together. -10. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
-10. OK, no, that's... -Oh, shut up. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
Great. I mean, it's nice to have you back. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
Mmm, it's nice to be here. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
There is something so rewarding about making your own bread. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
Homemade bread will certainly be 10 times better than the bread you buy. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
It was so important that only my father actually would cut the bread | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
and one day I dared to ask him and he said to me, "It's about respect. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
"Bread, I have to earn it, so do you", OK? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
So bread is extremely symbolic, extremely important to our culture | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
and it is also, of course, delicious. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
Next, a versatile recipe which | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
can be used to make a simple French country loaf, pain de campagne, | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
or something more elaborate like crusty beer-topped rolls, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
or an olive and tomato fougasse. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
You can make a thousand different varieties of bread simply with these four ingredients... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
flour, water, yeast and you've got salt. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
The starting point for Raymond's three breads is to make a starter dough. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
The starter is made of 100g of rye flour, 100g of wheat flour, | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
then I've got here about 5g of yeast, it's baker's yeast, OK? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
Crumble your yeast in your water. Tres bien. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
Fresh yeast is more active than dried yeast and will make the dough ferment more rapidly. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
Voila. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
This process is crucial. It improves the lift and the taste of the bread. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
It will give a real bread experience. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Acidity, flavour. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Set aside the starter dough for 12 hours so the yeast can do its work. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
Merci. Parfait, beautiful. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
What you've got here is really something extraordinary. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
It's a very lovely acid yeasty flavour which is just right. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:21 | |
Now, combine with the other ingredients. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
I'm going to put my water in my dough starter. It looks quite messy | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
at this stage, it's not very pretty. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Tres bien. Now you place your flour, OK, in your mixing bowl. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:38 | |
What's most important here is trying to put the yeast and the salt together. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
They hate each other, because the salt in presence of the yeast will | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
kill the yeast, that is why here I'm going to put my salt on the side, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
and I'm going to put my yeast nicely crumbled on the other side, OK, so no fight. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |
Add the water and starter dough | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
then mix on a low speed for 5 minutes. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
My friends call me Dory, OK? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
You know, you've seen Dory in 'Captain Nemo'? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
The fish who forgets everything so it's quite wise to... | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
to place your timer. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
Voila. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
TIMER BEEPS | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Scrape the dough from the hook and put it on medium speed for another 5 minutes. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:33 | |
And again. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
This kneading process stretches out the gluten, a protein found in wheat. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
OK, voila. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
Kneading makes the dough elastic and helps it to rise. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
Tres bien. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:48 | |
Now leave the dough to prove. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
That will double up in volume. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
Voila. We've got one hour here. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
As the yeast ferments, it produces gas which makes the dough expand. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
Take that away. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
Yes, OK... | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Voila, perfect. Tres bien. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
So it's very well proven here. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
You've got double the volume, you can see blisters here. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
To make your rustic country bread, sprinkle some flour on a board... | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-Voila. -..to stop the dough sticking, and divide the mixture. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-Turn it around. -500g of dough is just right for a medium-sized loaf. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:33 | |
The more rough you are with it, the more you're deflating it, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
all these lovely little bubbles which have taken so long to build. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
Tres bien. So I've got my loaf here, that's perfect. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
For a professionally shaped loaf, use a bread basket. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
OK, which gives a lovely design on the top and then now I'm putting it in here, voila. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
-Tres bien. -The dough needs to prove for the last time, for an hour and a half. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:03 | |
See that bread, how well proven it is? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
So what I am to do here is to reverse this one here. Voila. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
For an authentic French touch... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-Tres bien. -Slash with a razor blade. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
It's sharp, you do a proper cut. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
Slide the bread into a pre-heated oven, at 270C. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:28 | |
What we're trying to do is re-create exactly the same conditions of a professional French baking oven. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
To do this, pour cold water onto a hot tray and bake for 25 minutes. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
The cold water on the tray creates steam, which in turn sit on the top | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
of the breads, which gives a lovely crusting and colour as well. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
The same dough base will also make a fougasse, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
a savoury leaf-shaped bread originally from the south of France. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-It's lightly brushed with olive oil and flavoured with olives, tomatoes and herbs. -Voila. | 0:12:54 | 0:13:00 | |
I want a rectangle shape, see? | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
And effectively with friends, you take a big fougasse and you break it in pieces like that, so it does | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
have good purpose that could aid the cooking | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
as well, give some more crust, and create a design element as well. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
Oh, uh-oh. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
Tres bien. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
When the bread is shaped, brush with olive oil. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
So this will help to stick all the stuff I'm going to put on it. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
Tres bien. Chopped herbs, voila. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
All this wonderful Provencale flavour. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
I need some rough salt please, Monty, rough salt. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Some olives, chopped olives, black olives. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Few tomatoes, courgettes, whatever. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Come on, stay here. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:45 | |
Stay here, what? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
After proving for 40 minutes, the fougasse is ready for baking. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
So at that stage, you can add the salt at the very last moment, | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
so it'll crystallise, doesn't melt into the bread. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
-Can we use your oven? -Yes, of course. -Thank you very much indeed. Merci beaucoup. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
Put it in the oven for 20 minutes at 270C. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
For an extra crispy crust, use the steam baking method. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
Another recipe made with this dough is crusty rolls. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
With a special rye and beer topping, they are the perfect start to a dinner party. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:28 | |
It's a beautiful technique which I'd like to share with you very much. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
Divide 250g of dough into four, and shape the rolls. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
The technique is barely touch your bread. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
Then, make the beer topping. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
So I'm going to melt my yeast, 10g of yeast, 140g of beer. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:48 | |
Combine the beer and yeast mixture with 110g of rye flour. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
It does enhance the wheaty flavour, OK? The rye and the wheat. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
Tres bien. So it's a nice little paste, so to speak, OK? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
A little brush, Monty? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
Yes, chef. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
And then up. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Apply the beer mixture to the dough with a pastry brush... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
then sprinkle with flour. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
Voila. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
That creates a lovely crust on top. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
Prove for 30 minutes. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:20 | |
Very, very rustic. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
Then bake for 12 minutes at 270C. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
Oh, what a noise. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
That's a song in itself. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Yes. Mmm, very rustic. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
There's no holes so when you butter, you'll put your butter or your jam | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
and it doesn't go through the hole, it's perfect. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
That is packed with flavour. And that's the fougasse. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
Now let's break it like... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
-No, that's for you. -Thank you. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
This... Voila. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
Mmm, that's nice. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
-You think? -Difficult to talk with your mouth full, but it's lovely. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
You've got to learn. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
-And I've got a pro here, OK, so I hope you are truthful! -Of course, I never lie. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:31 | |
Beautiful bread, very happy. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-I take some home. -You imagine giving that bread to your guests, that you made yourself. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:40 | |
That's something. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
12 million loaves of bread are sold each day in the UK, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:47 | |
but today nearly one in 100 people suffer from gluten intolerance. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:53 | |
Hello, Raymond. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
Good to see you. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
Raymond is meeting John Lister, owner of Shipton Mill. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
He's here to experiment with different flours to try and create a gluten-free bread. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:08 | |
I'm sure you must realise, John, that actually I was probably the first Frenchman ever to buy your flour. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:13 | |
So I think we were the only mill that could speak French at the time. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Yes, maybe that's one of the reasons as well. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
The mill produces over 100 types of flour using traditional stone-grinding methods. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:26 | |
-There's been a mill on this site since 1066. -Feel the rumble... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-Yes. -..of the stone. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
-Ah, the trembling, the rumbling, the grinding. -It's an amazing... | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
The crushing. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:37 | |
It's technology that's 3,000 years old. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
-So... -Voila, whoa. What a display. Have you got chestnut flour? | 0:17:44 | 0:17:50 | |
-Yes. Chestnuts. -I smell forest. -Wheat. -Buckwheat, yes, excellent. -Ah, corn flour. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:56 | |
Corn flour, yes, of course. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
That will do a good glue for my bread, so good. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
OK. Here we have rice flour. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
OK. So what I'd like to know, in those flours, what kind of gluten content you have. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-I have none. -None? -None. -Great. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
That's what we're doing, so we are in a way having a very special moment, John, we are sharing | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
breadmaking, and hopefully if we're lucky we may even eat it after. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:23 | |
Raymond is experimenting with a combination of rice, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
maize, buckwheat and chestnut flour, which should give the bread flavour. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
John, I like very much the way you design your house here. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:35 | |
That table must have been surely done for you. I need a little box, no? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
So satisfying, is it, so, so... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
-Uh-huh. -I think your mixing arm is not bad at all! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
After proving, the bread is ready for baking. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Got the porridge and the alchemy. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Ready to roll. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Without gluten to help the dough rise, the challenge with this bread is making the loaf light. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:04 | |
Tres bien. I wish bakers would make a little effort, OK, | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
just to provide that gluten-free bread, because more and more people have got allergies. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
Don't ask me why they've got all their allergies, but they do. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
85% of bread made in the UK is made on high-speed industrial plants | 0:19:15 | 0:19:23 | |
with little or no fermentation and, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
you know, we see that when you make bread properly with fermentation | 0:19:25 | 0:19:31 | |
of 14, 15 hours, people aren't so intolerant to it. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:37 | |
After 30 minutes in the oven, Raymond's experiment is ready. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
-I've no idea how those flours behave... -Yes. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-OK, but actually they're quite thirsty... -Yes. -Of water... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-Yes. -OK? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Cor, it's quite tight. I think the mix of flours needs some more work. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:56 | |
I needed to start somewhere, you know? | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-Wow. Chestnut. -Yes, there's a little chestnut, yes. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
-It's Oxford Street at Christmas. -Mmm, mmm. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-I think I will probably work more on the chestnut... -That's incredible. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-Because it's got such an incredible flavour. -Mmm. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
For anyone who is allergic to gluten, I think it's a wonderful bread. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
I agree. I'll drink to that. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
Cheers. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
In the kitchen, Raymond returns to one of his great loves - pastry. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
My mum was such a great pastry cook that basically | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
I would always be the guy who takes two portions or three. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
Hey, you shy? | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Of course. Right here. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-You baked them, you are responsible for them. -Oh, come on. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
OK? Come on, Billy, it's OK. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
-For your mum. -Huh? -OK, let's have a look. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
It's just right, look delicious the egg yolk, voila. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
Thanks, chef. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
For his last recipe, one of Raymond's favourite desserts. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:10 | |
Apple croustade - delicate pastry on caramelised apple | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
topped with honey and ginger ice cream. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
What I'm about to make now is possibly the greatest dessert that I ever had anywhere else in the world. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:24 | |
It's magic, it's very beautiful. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
Even if you watch it, if you don't do it at home, it will be worth it | 0:21:26 | 0:21:30 | |
but I hope you do it at home because it's an amazing dessert, amazing dessert. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
To start, make the pastry dough. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
Separate two eggs. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
The egg white, I'm going to beat them with about | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
5g of sugar, caster sugar. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
I'm mustering the last bit of strength as an exhausted cook. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:50 | |
So a very gentle foam, see? You see? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |
-So... OK, voila. -Next, prepare the egg yolks. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
Add the hot water to break them down. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
I'm going to mix my egg white to my egg yolk and hot water, OK? | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
Then just... | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
Voila. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
OK, so then 500g of white flour. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
Use a paddle attachment on your mixer to combine the ingredients thoroughly. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
Then I break my yeast into it, 3g of yeast just to give a bit | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
of fermentation and deliciousness and acidity, OK? | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
You can do it without but it's very, very nice with. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Then add the egg mixture using a low speed. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
That's 5 minutes now, OK, | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
until it leaves the side. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
It's forming together in a beautiful bowl, smooth and velvety, beautiful. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:05 | |
Add two tablespoons of grape seed oil and mix for 5 more minutes. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
But don't use olive oil, walnut oil or any heavily scented oil. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
I want the flavour of my yeasty... | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
to make it really delicious. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
OK, that's lovely. Just look at that, it's perfect, look at that. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
Voila, look at that. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
Then it falls off, I know my dough is ready. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
OK, that also falls off as well. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
Everything falls off. I'm falling off too! | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
OK, look at that, beautiful. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
Oh! The brioche was sticky, the bread was doughy, that one is just in between, eh? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:48 | |
Cut off a third of the dough. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
The rest can be frozen and saved for another occasion. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Tres bien, and that will do about four beautiful croustades. Voila. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:58 | |
After leaving it to rest for half an hour at room temperature, transfer to the fridge for 12 hours. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:04 | |
There's a slowcontrolled fermentation going on into this dough. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
Adam, this, merci. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
Next stage, maybe a bit more tricky, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
but that stage, easy, and I will give you also Adam's telephone number. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
-OK, just in case. -When the dough's ready, find a friend to help make your croustade. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:24 | |
Paul has worked with us for now six years and this dish, | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
he's done it a thousand times, so probably he will shine me over. I don't mind. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:34 | |
It's all right. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
-So now, we're going to undo it. OK, Paul? -Yes, I'm ready. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
OK, tres bien. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:40 | |
So gently, slowly, slowly, slowly is better. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
Let's go slow, slow, slow, slow. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Well, I couldn't do that all by myself. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Carefully stretch the pastry until it's thin enough to see through. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
Very slowly. Oh. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
You can see, it's so easy, you know? A moment of inattention. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:01 | |
A few small holes don't matter. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Just lie the pastry flat and pat with melted butter. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
You're very slow, you're a very slow coach, Paul. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
Now we're going to put some caster sugar, so quite generous, OK? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:16 | |
Voila, I think that's fine. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
Cut out a square, getting rid of any large holes where possible. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
-Voila. -Then cut into quarters. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
Here we are. Actually, I'm going to give you that one because that one is too difficult. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
There's a hole inside here. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Always cheating, typical Raymond Blanc. Tres bien. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:37 | |
Shape into pastry tins, making sure the side with caster sugar is on the outside. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:43 | |
Tricky. So I'm going to put it nicely inside here. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
When baked, this delicate parcel | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
will be transformed into a light, crispy strudel-like pastry. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
Tres bien. It is so important that it is done quite lightly, | 0:25:55 | 0:26:00 | |
it's got height, so I believe it's quite loose, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
not piled up upon each other. Oh, Paul's getting a mess! | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
Oh, no, I drop them. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
The pressure, the cameras, you know, all the cooking, you know. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Not bad, Paul. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
Not bad at all. You see, pretty good. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
-Well done. -Now, set the croustades aside to dry at room temperature overnight. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:25 | |
In the meantime, make the caramel apple centre. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:29 | |
Finely slice some apples, arrange in a circle, | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
then brush with melted butter mixed with apple brandy, caster sugar and lemon juice. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:39 | |
Bake for 40 minutes at 200C. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
Thank you, Paul. That is an apple rosace. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
You can do it in your home. Bit of practice, but really when you've got that wonderful caramelised flavour... | 0:26:48 | 0:26:54 | |
By the way, those apples are Cox Pippin Orange. They are marvellous. | 0:26:54 | 0:27:00 | |
When you're ready to serve the dish, | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
-put the dried croustades and apple rosaces in the oven at 220C. -5 minutes, OK? | 0:27:03 | 0:27:09 | |
Maybe 7, maybe 6 but... | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
No, it's a very exact science. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
The croustades are ready when they are golden in colour. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:22 | |
So they don't look very much like that, but you wait, OK? | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
Now bring the dish together. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
Drizzle with apple and vanilla puree. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
Then you place your wonderful little croustade. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
-Topped with ice cream. -That's a honey and ginger ice cream. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
Ginger preserve... | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
I've forgotten something. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
-Voila. -And icing sugar. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
Just a little thing which makes every bit of difference. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
What I love the most, | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
what I love the most, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
is that. Oh! CRACKING | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
It's fantastic. Oh! | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
You must make it at home, and the wonderful thing about that dessert, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
you need a friend to make it. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
It's fantastic, I've got my friend here, find one. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
Find yours. It's wonderful. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
